I pray that this letter finds you in health and prospering as your souls are prospering!

Having been in ministry for many years, I have seen and met many very anointed people. I have over the years also had the opportunity to meet many who tried to be those people rather than just being themselves. It is heartbreaking to watch so many people struggle to become what God has NOT created them to be rather than just becoming what God intended them to be. Do we know more than the creator?

The disturbing thing about this is that you will never be good at anything you were not created to be good at. Did God create fish to soar above the clouds, did He invent eagles to swim the oceans. You can see this dilemma everywhere you go, both in the church and in the world. Interesting how you even see men trying to succeed as women, and women trying to become men. Ok, that's another teaching...

In my early days of ministry, I met great men and women of God, and admired the anointing and gifting that they carried, but I learned one thing very early in my ministry, I could not become them. If I tried to be like them, I miserably failed. What I became is a poor impostor. All along, God simply wanted me to be me. When I realized that God had not created me to be a praise and worship leader, a lot of precious saints were spared agonizing experiences. Yes, I want to sing, but I don't have the anointing to lead many into the presence of God like a few people I know. I did however discover an amazing thing, there is great fulfillment in being the person God made me to be.

Here is the practical note on this. Many an evangelist tried to pastor a flock to the disappointment of whole congregations. They were great at bringing people to know Jesus, but in many cases were not equipped to deal with the day to day issues of pastoring the flock. When people try to be that which they were not created to be, their lives, and those around them will always be negatively impacted.

Paul said "by the grace of God, I am what I am".. Did you know that when you are doing the thing God appointed you to do, there will be supernatural fruit, but one dimension that all too many fail to consider. When you are NOT doing the thing that God created you to do, you will lack the grace to get the job done. You will also lack the grace for that supernatural protection and provision. The longer you try to operate in that which God did not create you for, the more frustrated you, and those around you will become.

Let today be the day you say "I am not going to try to build that which the Lord is not in, God, please help me to do what you have ordained me to do, and nothing else!"

The bible in Psalm 127 tells us "Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build, except the Lord keep the city, the watchman watches in vain"... Lets all take that first step in letting the Lord build rather than us striving to be what we are not created for.

One final note on this... This is why God created husbands to be husbands, wives to be wives, parents to be parents, and children to be children. There is WAY too much role reversal going on in the world, and YES, it is going on in the church also. Husbands, be the provider, protector, leader, Wives, be what God created you to be. Parents, BE parents, not children. Children, obey your parents, not your peers. This thing is way upside down, and God wants to right a sinking ship. Lets all do our part!

Jesus loves you all so much, and so do we! Gayle and I are praying for you all that this will be the year that you become what God has anointed you to be!

If you feel someone would benefit from this mini teaching, please feel free to pass it on.. The Holy Spirit owns this, I do not!...

Good morning, I just wanted to quickly share something I saw in the spirit last night. I was awakened around 3:30 and was laying and praying to see what the Lord would say. As I was praying, a vision flashed before my eyes, it was a breaking news alert on my iphone screen and it said a 10.0 Earthquake had hit, but before I could see where the EQ had hit, the vision was gone. So in light of the Chilean 8.2 earthquake yesterday, I was concerned that I saw the 10.0. My understanding is that a 10.0 would be so strong and devastating it might knock the earth off of its normal axis. I did ask the Lord if He would show me where it was, however, the only impression I felt was that it was outside of the United States. So I share this for the sake of prayer for those affected in the 8.2 EQ yesterday and for the things to come. I could not sleep, was up and praying and knew I was crying out for souls! I saw masses, masses in the valley of decision. Please be sensitive to the Holy Spirit, and if He leads you to pray with understanding or in your prayer language, please do not delay, be obedient. Souls are at stake, and nothing is more important to the heart of God than people. God bless you all, have a wonderful and prosperous day in Jesus name!

Dear Friends,I was up most of last night and this morning with headaches, but I had 4 disturbing visions that I will share with you for the purpose of prayer...

Ok, woke out of my sleep around 2:30 by headache but realized I had just had a dream (it was a God dream). In the dream I saw President Obama on the floor, and he was dead. I knew in the dream that he was not living, he laid on the floor, in a suit with his eyes closed, and his hands at his sides. He never moved..

Then during the night as I lay awake, I had 4 visions of the exact same thing, yet his body was reduced in each vision starting from his feet. What i mean is first vision he was intact, second vision missing lower half of his body, third vision only shoulders and head remained, fourth, only head and neck remained, in the last vision, i turned to Gayle and said "honey, look at him" but when we turned towards him, he was completely gone. I said to Gayle "Gayle, someone took his head!"...

Ok, to be honest, I am not fond of what Mr. Obama has done to, and tried to do to this country, but I wish him NO harm! We all need to pray for Gods protection and salvation for this man, and his family!!!

There are two possible interpretations for the above, neither is good, but the second is more preferable than the first..

This could represent a natural death, which would have terrible results for this country! Let me explain, for years, I have seen this country divided in four pieces, but much like a civil war, it was divided racially, politically, socially, and geographically. It was divided north by south, and east by west, like a pizza cut equally in four pieces. There were riots, and great civil unrest!!! I still believe we are heading this way if we dont ALL turn quickly to God in prayer, and lifestyle!!

Ok, the second could represent his popularity, and respect for him as our President! This is already clearly happening! My concern is the damage being done to a country that is already at the point of financial ruin and moral decay!

Ok, some good news in all this, God is still in control. He will have the last word in all of this...

I feel the leading of the Lord to declare a word over our nation! It comes from the Word of God, and I am hearing Him direct me to speak this....

For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have only done evil before me from their youth: for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith the Lord. For this city hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even unto this day; that I should remove it from before my face, Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face: though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction. But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, to defile it. And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin. And now therefore thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof ye say, It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence; Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely: And they shall be my people, and I will be their God: And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them: And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me. Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul. (Jeremiah 32:30-41 KJV)

The word in Jeremiah speaks to much of what is terribly wrong in America, the aborting of children, backsliding, turning away from God when He only wants to heal, restore, and make us to be the people (and church) that He desired when He created us!

Let this encourage you to turn to Him in everything, let the Lord truly be Lord of ALL... I believe that you are the people who can turn this ship back in the right direction through prayer, fasting, and most of all, a personal walk and relationship with Jesus!

May you ALL be in health and prosper as your souls prosper!I love and appreciate you all! But most of all, remember that Jesus Loves YOU!~joe
